Sounds neat. Can't make it though. My wife couldn't get off work, wish it was on a weekend... I am planning to get up to Higgins this year sometime. I bet my wife will notlike it very much. I could stand and look at armour for hours and hours. It would be cool to see your arming demo. She might like that better, at least there would be people doing things and not just us two looking at "stands of metal".

Just saw your post on the faire on May 5th. Can't make that either. Have to work that weekend. One of these days....

Hi Sir Dan,

It's the first Saturday of every month we do our demo, although there is the occasional exception. I hope you can make it out some time, we could point out some of the more interesting pieces.

We usually have civilians as well, and goodies other than metal suits - if your wife has any interest in medieval crafts or that sort of thing.
